I really like the Matrix 2.0 Protein Shakes from Vitamin Shoppe. They are 110 calories and 23 g of Protein. The chocolate and strawberry are really good, but I'm not much of a fan of the Cookies and cream. I didn't start my protein shakes until about 4 1/2 months into my surgery, but I can definitely tell the difference they make! I'll definitely have to try out these Premier Protein shakes from Sams though too!

Are you taking all your Vitamins? Remember to take your Calcium and Iron 2 hours apart. Whenever you feel weak or light headed make sure you get something into your system immediately. You may ask your dr to run a glucose test.

My nut gave me a high Protein pudding recipe that is really good. (1/2 cup serving)

1 box fat free, sugar free chocolate instant pudding mix

1 16oz container nonfat cottage cheese

1 12oz container fat free cool whip

1 scoop chocolate Protein powder

4 TB skim milk

Can you give me the recipe for the Protein ice cream? Sounds good!

I really like the chocolate flavored Muscle Milk...either the regular formula, or the "lite" (which has no sugar). I am also a huge fan of the Unjury chicken broth flavored Protein Powder. Just be sure the Water you're mixing it into isn't hotter than 130 degree F!! The unflavored Unjury Protein powder mixes well, in both warm and cold things (again....nothing hotter than 130 degrees F), and doesn't ruin the flavor. I didn't care for the chocolate flavored Unjury powder....it was way too sweet for my current taste. One of my favorite "experiments"...two cans of Manischevitz chicken consommé, two cans of water, and one can of Campbell's cream of chicken with herbs mixed in...strain as much as you want to drink into a travel mug (to help keep it warm long enough to drink it all), and add 1/2 a scoop of Unjury unflavored protein (yields 10grams of protein). This is a very flavorful chicken "broth", with a slightly creamy consistency, low calorie, low fat, low carb, and high protein!! Best of luck to you!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
